At first glance, the topline numbers look bad for President Trump and his party: The president's approval is an underwhelming 43 percent in the RealClearPolitics average of polls, and the GOP is trailing on the generic ballot by about 5 percent. One reason for those lousy numbers is the surge in GOP retirements: 26-the highest number of GOP departures since 2006. This year, we are fighting against historic trends, so we have to connect with our voters.

So where is the good news? "Republicans need to defeat Democratic incumbents to hold the Senate, which isn't easy in this kind of year". "The question is how many". But Nunes obviously fears that if the Senate doesn't confirm Kavanaugh soon, they might not have a chance because Democrats could be controlling the Senate in 2019.

I want wall-to-wall coverage of Trump's every speech, rally, tweet and utterance, because they most reveal his character, and Trump's character is the ceiling on Trump's presidency. Sure, talk-radio conservatives understand that the margins of victory in these races were far too close for comfort-Democratic candidates have outperformed their party's average performance by about 5 points in the competitive special elections since Trump's election-but their mantra is "Trump finds a way to win".

Another data point that's been largely overlooked is the GOP's gerrymandering advantage.
